Hello 2019! If you’re here, then you already know the numerous benefits of a homemade shampoo. Firstly, since you make this at home, you are precisely aware of what is going into it, in contrast to shampoos sold off the shelf that have so many dangerous ingredients, even toxic. Other benefits are that you can use all natural elements and refrain from all of the fillers and irritants brands use, scent it any way you need, not artificially, and customize it to fit your hair’s desires. Convenient too, as you may have all of these ingredients already in your kitchen cabinets or pantry, give them a try with these easy tutorials!
A self-made shampoo is any day simpler for your hair and your pocket too.
Here are some easy shampoo DIYs recipes you may use to make your hair shiny, soft and healthy, on a budget:
Some Easy Shampoo Recipes
1: Baking Soda Shampoo Recipe
This is the most comfortable homemade shampoo and so cheap to make. All you need is:
- One tablespoon baking soda (also referred to as sodium bicarbonate)
- 1 cup of water. Use soft water and avoid heavy or tough water for maximal effectiveness.
- One empty shampoo bottle
Directions:
- Pour the water into the bottle and add the baking soda.
- You can double the proportion depending on the amount of shampoo you want
- Firmly shake the bottle, and your shampoo is ready.
- To use the shampoo, shake the bottle before use and pour/squirt a bit on your moist hair.
- Massage it in very well and wash it off after a couple of minutes.

We advocate the usage of this shampoo while you are transitioning from a business product to a self-made one, and no longer maintain this as your everyday shampoo.
